You can also get an adapter for the Bob jogger so you can make it a travel system. That’s what I have, so we got a used Bob for $250 cad and a new Britax car seat with the adaptor to clip it on.
I got a 2019 used BOB stroller for $250 cad and you can get an adaptor so different car seats can clip in. We bought a new Britax car seat and it clips in super nice. I’m not a runner but lots of walking and on trails so that’s why we got a jogger. It maneuvers so nice too and the front wheel can be fixed if we want it from swivelling. I don’t know how heavy it is but it folds up easy enough and I don’t find it too heavy. We also have a large SUV so I’m not worried about space.
We bought a used Vista and Bob for neighborhood walks. We actually like the Bob better - the vista is very bulky. For day to day and travel we got the Minu. We LOVE it! Collapses easily into the trunk or on the plane. Wheels good enough for suburbia.
I was given a single BOB and enjoy it for the most part so thats what we are sticking with for now. Do you (or anyone) know of any universal or offbrand snack trays that are compatible? Trying not to dish out $60 for the one from the brand
I owned both a BOB single and a Thule double jogging stroller, and honestly, the Thule was the best stroller I ever had. I’ll admit, I was a total stroller snob. We had an Uppababy, Baby Jogger, BOB, Mountain Buggy, Chicco, and Thule, and the Thule was hands down superior to all of them. I could literally push it with one finger. The best part was that when my kids finally outgrew it, I was able to sell it on Marketplace for about 75% of what I originally paid. It held its value incredibly well and still looked almost brand new.
The Chicco was our first stroller and I didn’t really know what made a stroller better in terms of push. I bought a BOB second hand and it was ok, but I truly didn’t think it was anything special. When I found out I was pregnant with my second we got the Uppababy Vista, which was smooth but so bulky. I sold that one and got a Baby Jogger City Select which I loved for daily use. Around this time I also got a Baby Jogger City Mini for travel and for quick trips to the mall or zoo as my youngest preferred baby wearing. I also had a Mountain Buggy Nano for traveling because it was so lightweight and compact. Once my youngest was old enough to take in a jogging stroller, we got the Thule Urban Glide.
I have the BOB with addon Velcro attachments for water + junk and it's an excellent product. I'm 6 ft and I think the adjustable/tilt handle is well designed and comfortable. The adjustable sun shade for kiddo is nice with a clear plastic window to be able to check in on them periodically without breaking your stride. The thing is very well built and sturdy. It's definitely a "buy it for life" quality product that you should be able to pass on to someone else after your family has outgrown it. My only issue with it is that when it's folded down it still takes a lot of space in your car. We have left it at home every time we went camping because trunk space is more important.
some bob models also have a hand break like a bike. I needed to adjust its tension out of the box to my liking, but that's the case for any bike I've owned.
Depends. My Bob stroller is wayyy better than my umbrella stroller. To the point I'd never suggest a stroller with small tires, they're so annoying to use anywhere with out perfectly flat ground. But the umbrella has it's use case when we need some very small, or flying.
